Linguistic Philosophy of Cyberspace 1Rusudan Makhachashvili1 Ivan Semenist2 1Borys Grinchenko Kyiv University 2 Borys Grinchenko Kyiv University [email protected], [email protected] Abstract2 21st century has witnessed the qualitative advances in ontological reality structuring and approaches to perception and cognition by the human mind. The study objective is the investigation of the innovative philosophic aspects of cyberspace through the lenses of the language development processes in the sphere of innovative computer technologies and digital communication. The study design is the disclosure of cyberspace as an ontology model and as a linguistic model in the template of a logosphere. The linguistic philosophy approach to the study of cyberspace allows to efficiently investigate the empirical manifestation of cyberspace ontology (space and time dimensions), the generic categories and dimensions of cyber-epistemology, to denote existential anthropocentric character of cyberspace. Philosophical foundations of the study of cyberspace as an integrated macro-and micro-entity are determined by the substantive features of inovative logosphere as a macrostructure and by the phenomenological characteristics and properties of substrate of linguistic units of innovative cyberspace logosphere. Keywords: Cyberspace, Linguistic Philosophy, Innovative Logosphere of Cyberspace, Digital Ontology 1. Introduction At the turn of the XX-XXI centuries, as an essential product of civilization, computer reality has been gradually separated into an independent existential whole, within which digital media serve not only as a means of transmitting information or interaction, but fulfill their own world-building, sense- building and, consequently, logo-generative potential (Gelernter, 1998), (Price, 2001). Cyberspace, henceforth, is an object of study of a wide range of academic branches – philosophy of modern humanities, psychology, sociology, cultural studies, etc. 1 Rusudan Makhachashvili (contact author), [email protected] 2 Peer-editor: Nataliia Lazebna, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Department of Theory and Practice of Translation, Zaporizhzhia National Polytechnic University, Ukraine ISSN: 1690-4524 SYSTEMICS, CYBERNETICS AND INFORMATICS VOLUME 19 - NUMBER 4 - YEAR 2021 191 By virtue of objective historical and geopolitical context (the cybernetization, globalization, informatization of society, the Americanization of global culture – (Heim, 1993), (Hillis, 1999), (Tapscott, 2008) at the turn of the millenium modern English, is a priority communicative medium of primary speech coding, speech and meta-language (terminology) representation of cyberspace elements and structures mapping (Crystal, 2001), (Quinion, 2003), (Shneiderman, 2002). Methodological perspectives of the modern view of natural language activity in the area of advanced technologies, include a macro-factor of the vocabulary functional updates (Makhachashvili, 2020), (Lazebna, 2021), (Makhachashvili et al, 2021), a cognitive structure, a segment of supranational worldview, a discursive digital communicative medium (Davis, 2001), (Schrijver, 2010), that gets extrapolated onto computer mediated discourse and terminology of European and Oriental languages alike. Conditions for the development of modern globalized civilization determine the expansion and refinement of the paradigm of views on the theoretical principles of determining the groundwork and characteristics of the consolidation of the world order, its perception in culture, collective social consciousness and natural language. Cyberspace stands as an integral environment, demanding new cognition and perception ways via complex philosophic, cultural, social, linguistic approaches, providing unlimited opportunities for human intellect, language development and research. Given the conceptual system of identification of onto-mental and linguo- mental complex formations to identify constructs of reality, cyberspace and its innovative linguistic shell can be located in the coordinates of such paradigms: 1) philosophy - as a particular type of substance – material and ideal reality in the multitude of its forms; a meta-negentropy (the term after Nagib Callaos) (Callaos, 2020); 2) anthropology – as an environment for actualization of post- humanistic forms of anthropogenesis; 3) psychology – as psychosomatic and emotional plane of a personality functioning; 4) sociology – as a system of multi-tiered and multi-directional social and communicative relations. 192 SYSTEMICS, CYBERNETICS AND INFORMATICS VOLUME 19 - NUMBER 4 - YEAR 2021 ISSN: 1690-4524 The inquiry objective is the investigation of the innovative linguophilosophic aspects of the language development processes in the sphere of new computer technologies. Linguophilosophic approach to the study of language innovations in cyberspace allows to efficiently investigate lingual manifestation of cyberspace ontology (namely space and time dimensions), to closely study the generic categories and dimensions of cyberanthroposphere, to denote its existential anthropocentric character. The study adopts the synthetic definition of the ‘philosophic’ notion which incorporates ontological, gnoseological and anthropological parametres. Linguistic philosophy of cyberspace is construed in the study through deterministic phenomenological correlation of innovative language of digital technologies with: 1) constructive elements of the substance - space, time, phenomenon, essence; 2) constructive elements of knowledge / cognition - information, episteme, concept, concept; 3) constructive elements of human consciousness - identification, identity, individuality. The inquiry methodology is based upon the hypothesis of the cyberspace- related language terminological nature. The dual systematization character of terminology determined the analysis of both linguistic and external (ontological, anthropological, cognitive, social) paradigmatic parameters of cybervocabulary. Due to its polydimensional nature the term acquires the unique, philosophic status (the entity of Being and Language respectively). The cyber-term as a specific intralingual and extralingual phenomenon turns out to be the means of perception and comprehension to a degree as well as the ontological actualization and categorization source of the modern cyberspace and technosphere. The introduced approach to defining the cyberterm presents a key to comprehending the underlying mechanisms of linguistic actualization, perception and processing of cyberspace. The study of groundwork principles of universality and philosophic interdisciplinary of natural language development in cyberspace is a parcel of the framework project (Makhachashvili, Semenist, 2021) TRANSITION: Transformation, Network, Society and Education.

Cyberspace as a Philosophic Ontology Theoretical issues of holistic, multidimensional language modeling and the reality of its individual areas (one of which within the framework of the linguistic culture at the beginning of the XXI century is the area of advanced computer technology) determined the interaction of a number of concepts that consistently connect ontological system features of sophisticated reality objects, attribute their reception and interpretation (in the field of individual and collective mind), implementation, consolidation and relay the results of the interaction of these features. In this regard, a fundamental dimension of being (Aristotle, 2014) is defined as a heterogeneous hyperonymic concept that can summarize the polydimensional signs of world order: A world that exists; world that is not subject to direct reception (Gachev, 1993), (Kasavin, 1990), but is in reality; The imaginary, unrealistic world (for example, the idea of perfect, mythological images (Kireev, 2008); A reality that exists objectively, independently of human consciousness (nature, objective laws of world order (Chanyshev, 1990); A common mode of existence of human society, culture and civilization. Thus, we can see that within the paradigm of Western traditions, the foundation of theoretical and conceptual perspective parameterization holistic reality modeling is the synthesis and anthropometric ontological principles. Plane integration of aforementioned principles can be considered the system of psycho-mental epistemic concepts that are part of the semantic field of the term "world view" and its multi-substrat and hierarchically heterogeneous derivatives. That way, world-view is identified as a holistic set of philosophical knowledge of the world (Novikova et al, 2001), (Rosch, 1978), which formed during the evaluation results of reality by the knowledge subject. The subjects or bearers of the world picture are individuals and social or professional groups, and ethnic or religious communities. The subject forms a picture of the world based on their own feelings, perceptions, ideas, forms of thought and consciousness. Accordingly, the picture of the world as a result of accumulation of subjective experience, knowledge of world order, based on feelings, beliefs, perceptions and thinking of the individual and the human community, dictates rules of behavior, meaning system (Knight, 1994), Spet, 2001), which affect the formation and generalization of concepts. Thus, it is determined that mapping framework in the system of modern humanities determines the definition of such leading features of this
